US - Europe clash in values

Apr 01, 2025

Washington [US], April 1: The trade conflict between the US and its key allies and partners in Europe continues to intensify.
The US also imposes purely domestic issues on its economic relations with its allies and partners. Specifically, the US Embassy in France sent a letter to a number of local businesses requesting an end to all programs that encourage and promote diversity, gender equality and non-exclusion in the use of labor . These are conditions if one wants to cooperate economically, invest and trade with the US.
The US Embassy in France also sent a pre-made form for French businesses to fill out to answer questions or provide information, with a deadline of five days to respond. The US side has done the same in several other Western European countries.
After returning to power in the United States, Donald Trump used an executive order to completely end all programs and measures to promote diversity, gender equality and inclusion of all members of society in the United States. If that were the case, it would be purely a domestic matter in the United States. But when requiring foreign businesses to comply with domestic regulations in the United States in this regard, it is a foreign matter with far-reaching and unpredictable consequences.
For France and other European countries , the US's demands, which can also be understood as conditions, are interference in their internal affairs politically, legally and socially. Moreover, it is also a clash and open conflict of values ​​that the important European allies and partners of the US not only pursue but also worship. Through this, it can be seen that the US does not value these allies and partners, is ready to ignore them and put itself in a superior position towards them. The US's relationship with Europe has become fundamentally different in both degree and nature.
